OpenIAP is the open interoperability standard for in-app purchases. Your sponsorship directly funds the infrastructure, security, and documentation that the entire mobile and game ecosystem depends on.
Why Sponsor OpenIAP#
This isn't about supporting "a nice open-source project." Sponsoring OpenIAP reduces your company's costs and risks:
| Benefit | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Reduced bus factor | The project has one maintainer today; sponsorship funds the maintainer time and governance meant to reduce that risk |
| Interoperability standard | One specification across iOS, Android, and emerging platforms — less integration work for your team |
| Conformance and test matrix | Shared behavioral tests run every store implementation through the same expectations, so normalization regressions are caught before they reach your production apps |
| Verification profile | A standard server-side purchase verification contract, the Commerce Protocol, that your backend or provider can implement instead of building its own |
| Documentation and onboarding | Better docs means your developers ship faster with fewer support tickets |
| Release stability | Funded testing and CI/CD infrastructure means fewer breaking changes |
| Platform policy response | When source stores change billing APIs, we update the spec so you don't scramble |
| Ecosystem trust | Neutral governance gives all parties confidence to adopt and contribute |
Sponsorship Tiers#
Monthly tiers, as offered on GitHub Sponsors:
| Tier | Monthly | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Community | $25 | Support OpenIAP as an individual |
| Bronze | $100 | Name in the OpenIAP sponsors section |
| Silver | $300 | Company logo in the OpenIAP sponsors section |
| Gold | $500 | Larger logo placement and recognition |
| Angel | $1,000 | Featured across OpenIAP repositories and sponsor pages, and priority awareness of issues affecting your platform |
| Partner | $2,000 | Prominent placement, and priority triage for production-impacting issues |
| Strategic | $5,000 | Top placement, and priority collaboration on roadmap and platform planning; contact the project lead before sponsoring |
One-time support: One-time Support ($100), Project Boost ($500), Production Boost ($1,000), Engineering Support ($3,000). Sponsorship buys recognition and priority, not a service-level agreement or reserved engineering capacity.
Sponsorship Channels#
Sponsor through GitHub Sponsors or OpenCollective, which offers the same monthly tiers with a public ledger. The Sponsors page lists every channel.
What Funding Supports#
The planned split of sponsorship funds is on Roadmap & Budget.
The Security Value#
Purchase verification is standardized in the Commerce Protocol verification profile, with validation guidance for each store. Integrity and fraud guidance is on the roadmap.
